2. Unscrew the nipples of the pressure and return pipes of the power steering. Plug the pipes. Remove the bracket from the steering gear.
3. Mark the relative orientation of the lower universal joint of the steering shaft and the steering gear shaft. Unscrew the clamp bolt and nut (arrows).

5. Loosen the bolts securing the stabilizer bushing clamps (to access the steering gear bolts).
6. Loosen the steering gear mounting nuts, lift the stabilizer bar and knock out the steering gear mounting bolts.
7. Separate the intermediate shaft from the steering gear shaft and remove the steering gear from the right side of the vehicle.
